Mountain View Wal-Mart Stock?

[Jason762]

Hey.

Making an inquiry to the status of ammo at Mountain View Wal-Mart. I got a buddy who will be coming shooting for the first time, and he's bringing 2 others.

I asked if he could get some ammo at Wal-Mart since he works in Sunnyvale. He says Fremont was out, and is going to go out of his way to try Mountain View.

Is he wasting time and gas, or do they have some ammo? We need 22LR 40 S&W and 45 ACP

check commercial/good deals forum.

No Ammo in Fremont/Alameda County WalMarts, might try Milpitas.

That may have been the one he tried. I can't recall. I know he said one didn't sell ammo and the other was out.

check commercial/good deals forum.

Will do. Will make a post on the WTB too

I was there maybe a week ago and they had no handgun ammo(including .22LR). For the past year I go once in a while and have scored some pistol ammo maybe one out of every 5 trips. They resupply once in a while but then people buy it up fast.

They generally do have a good amount of shotgun ammo and rifle ammo (other than 5.56/.223 which I've seen them have maybe once out of every 3 trips).

He's really wasting time and gas going to Mt View. Their cupboards are bare most of the time. Forget about the 22LR, 40, and especially 45. In the past year, I've only see two boxes of 9mm on their shelf. Your best bet is the Marketplace forum.

Good luck, someone local may have some ammo for you.

Thanks, I let him know. It's his call if he goes or not. If he does, maybe he'll get lucky.

if he's willing, try gilroy. not sure if tracy walmart carries any ammo.

Tracy Wal Mart does carry ammo but I was there last Sunday and they were out of everything except 22 short, 17HMR and shotgun shells...

My friend stopped by Mountain View and picked up 4 boxes of Federal .45 ACP. Score!

No 22LR or 40S&W though. He says the sales clerk said it came in that morning, but sold out right away.

Nice! I was at Tabor's Shooting Supply this afternoon. Frank (the owner and gunsmith) has a lot of ammunition in stock. He just got a shipment in. I just bought a brick (500rd) of .22LR Centurion for $25/500rd. Prices are higher but it's a gunshop not Walmart.

mtn view usually gets their stuff and stocks shelves on moday mornings. when i was working i would make a point to take my lunch around 9-10 and was able to stock up on .22, i hit paydirt almost every week.

Sweet, thanks for the inside tip!

The 2 best places I can pretty much find 9mm and .22LR, and soon .223 is Sportmas Supply in Campbell and Bay Area Gun Vault in Mountain View.
